Ok if you don’t have other means to explore the outside area of Melbourne

It was a 40 person bus. We 3, were a cultural minority but the guide did his level best to include us with English language among the dominant Mandarin. The sites were ok. The beach is really something you would enjoy off you could just do beach time. I think I got more out of a tour to the Sydney zoo. The train was cute but touristy. I liked the winery tour but felt the rest of the tour mates was waiting g for that to end

Lots of really good...

Lots of really good things to see but it's a long day! Rochford winery staff excellent, saw many Australian animals at the sanctuary, Puffin Billy was a great experience, but would have preferred to have done Puffin Billy earlier in the day as it got very cold later on.
